Joseph Warren, 1775
Ponyville was a bustle of life in the wee hours of the morning. Azure made his way through the town, weaving his way past the innocents. Shops had a wide variety of smells and items to behold. Something caught Azur's eye though. Azure made his way to a weopens stand and looked at the wide selection. Swords, muskkets, knifes, spears, everything possibly imaginable. But in the middle of the stand was a intrecate piece of creation. A tomahawk.
Azure picked it up and steadied it in his hooves. He closley inspected it. It seemed to bear the assassins insignia, but also seemed a tad bit off. Azure twirled it, feeling the lightness of the tomahawk. "See anything you like?" The stand owner asked. "Yes I find myself under a trance from this tomahawk. I think I'll buy it." "Excellent choice good sir. That will be eighty two bits." "Eighty two? Seems a bit to pricey." Azure thought about it and he handed the owner the money. "Will that be all sir?" "Yes my good fellow, have a wonderfull day." Azure trotted away.
Azure looked around the new enviorment. The houses havent changed much, almost like a new meets old sort of scenerio. A fountain pushed blue crystine water high into the air. A pony ran into him and the white mare tripped on top of Azure. The pony wasnt quick to get up, but managed to. "I'm terrably sorry, I didnt mean to crash into like that." "It's completly fine." Azure reassured helping pick up the assortment of fabrics sprawled across the ground. He studied the mare. A darker white coat, A grey fadded blue mane and tail, and had three blue diamonds for a cutie mark.
The white pony smiled at Azure with upmost grace. "Thank you..." "Azure maddam, and pre tell who are you?"
"Oh please dont call me maddam, your're going to make me feel older than I already am." She said with a blush spread across her face."Rarity darling, and ooh what fine fashion you show." Azure smillied. "Thank miss rarity, your're the element of generosity correct?" "Indeed I am mister Azure. Is there something I may help you with?" "Indeed. I am looking for Twilight Sparkle, would you have any idea where she may be?" "Oh yes Twilight, I havent seen her in a very long while. May I accompany you to see her?" "I wouldnt be against it no." "Oh splended, but I must drop of my things." "Take your time, I'll see there." With that Rarity trotted off to her home and left Azure by the fountain.
Roughly fifteen minuts later Rarity came back. " Are we good to go?" She asked. "Yes." Azure replied. The two walked throughout the busy streets. Azure pushed ponies out of the way to make a path they could walk through. "So may I ask why is it that your searching for Twilight?" Rarity shouted over the crowd. "Long story I'll explain when we get there." They continued through the streets till they came out onto a grass area. They continued the walk untill they were infront of a big tree. The tree itself seemed old and could basicly crumble to the ground. Three ponies made their way to the tree, two of which Azure knew as templars, while the other wore a black buisness suit. Azure put his hoove across rarity's chest. She looked down and then to Azure. "Something the matter Azure?" "Yes please stay here." Azure left Rarity alone and trotted to the two templars gaurding the door to the tree.
The templars had no idea Azure was net to them. Azure pulled out his throwing knife and took aim at the templar's eye. He threw it and the templar fell to the ground while his partner was was now turning towards Azure. Azure pulled out his new tomahawk and charged the templar. He knocked the templar off balance and pinned him to the ground. Azure raised the tomahawk and swung it down un-mercafully. He pulled the tomahawk out of the templar's skull, and it broke off and clattered on the ground. "I knew this thing wouldnt take any punishment." Azure said throwing the rest of the broken tomahawk into a bush.
Azure made his way to the door and opened it ever so slightly. He was in and could now tell that the tree was a library. He heard talking in the next room over to the right. Azure leaned against the wall and eavesdropped on the conversation. "Please miss Sparkle, listen to reason. We only want to help you find the other two elements." "I'm sorry mister Silentshade, but I've been told not to share any information that I may or may not have." The templar Silentshade stood up pushing the seat he was on away from him. "Miss Sparkle, you must help us. Equestria depends on it." "Well once more I will say it. I'm not giving you any informa... [Gasp]" "What!" Silentshade asked.
Azure drove his hidden blade into the back of Silentshade. He fell on the ground with a sickening thud. "Oh sweet Celestia." Twilight said trying to keep herself from pukeing. "Relax miss Sparkle." Azure said taking Silentshade's seat. "What do you want with me?" She asked hesitantly. "The same thing he was after." "Well then if thats the case your not going to get any information." She said still looking at the dead body laying on the floor. "Princess Luna said that you would be able to provide me with whatever information you may have." Twilight sighed. "If princess Luna sent you then, I guess I may be able to lend some." She said sheepeshly shrugging. "Thank you miss Sparkle, and believe me when I say this you are helping with a far better cause then what this bysantne scum would have done."
Twilight gave Azure the information he needed. "Thank you miss Sparkle your help is most appreciated." "Azure." Azure turned around to look at Twilight. "Yes miss Sparkle?" "May I come with you? I mean if you would be up for that." Azure smillied. "That would be fine." Twilight got up from her seat and followed Azure outside. It was almost afternoon and the sun envelopped their body's. "So first stop, Rainbow dash." said Twilight with determination written on her face.
